Celine Byrne
Reviews
La Bohème
Celine Byrne’s Mimì announced a soprano of fine lyrical quality and a touching actor, too.
On stage was a tremendous Mimì in Celine Byrne, her strong, lustrous voice totally at odds with her disease, but a splendid performance.
Celine Byrne’s rich-voiced consumptive Mimì made lovely work of her voluptuous arias.
Celine Byrne excels in “La Bohème“…..in her first major opera role, soprano Celine Byrne from Naas, Co. Kildare has made an acclaimed debut as Mimì (…). The singer´s first-night performance in the Theatre Royal, Glasgow, was universally praised by critics, although the modernised production (…) received mixed reactions.
Celine Byrne’s Mimì is delicate, attractive and sung with an emotive power that dominates the production.
Der Freischütz
Set in Missouri, Anna Bergmann´s “Der Freischütz” premiered yesterday evening at the Stadttheater Klagenfurt with excellent voices in a gory stage direction.
Alexander Soddy (…) motivated singers and musicians to a top-performance. The young ensemble nimbly masters the demands of a challenging stage direction and also stands to the test of Weber´s delicate music. Celine Byrne generously shapes Agathe’s arias with long melody phrases.
Special praise goes to all soloists for their intense acting, above all to Celine Byrne with subtle languor in her arias.
Irish soprano Celine Byrne impressed with her confident and heartfelt performance.
Celine Byrne is a heartfelt and touching Agathe.
Celine Byrne shines as Agathe with her velvety, elegant soprano.
Celine Byrne is a heartfelt Agathe.
